Luna Allen, a car painter, has done everything she can to raise her three sisters by giving them love and a safe place to live.

"In the darkness, in the chaos, we found comfort in each other."

When Sinners Kneel brings the return of the magical world of the Blackest Gold Series. Where falling in love can make you lose your heart and fighting to the death is an everyday occurrence. Featuring the broken bad boy Beau Knight and the sweet (and spunky) Lex Harvey, When Sinners Kneel brings a magical blend of contemporary paranormal romance full of passion and heart. Although it can be read as a stand-alone, I highly recommend reading the Blackest Gold Series first in order to truly grasp the development of these characters and their story.

"In the most fucked up way, we were built for each other. Her hungry soul; my sick twisted heart."

Beau Knight is Tensley Knight’s older brother. Due to the love, he shared with a human girl, he was stripped of his inheritance and lost his heart. Now a ruthless fighter in "the pit" and an enforcer for his family, Beau, a wicked demon, lives his life fast and loose! When Lex Harvey, a good friend of Tensley and a souleater, enters "the pit" in search of a missing friend, Beaux is beyond frustrated by her presence in his dark world. Fearing she is too pure for the darkness and danger all around, Beau does everything in his power to push her away. But when the attraction between the two builds into something greater than either can deny, Beau and Lex come together and find passion like they have never experienced before. But can a soulless man and a souleater find happiness, peace and long-lasting love?

"Each thrust was a battle between us-a challenge, a war to destroy each other."

Told in dual POV, When Sinners Kneel is a story of two people longing to be loved. Both struggle with their inner demons and yet, together they are strong. This world is complex and the characters play an integral part in each other’s lives. Beau makes quite the transformation as each moment unfolds. Lex, albeit young, is quite the fighter and paired with Beaux becomes the woman she was meant to be. The pacing of the story was quick and yet the romance between the two is a slow burn. The action always plays a critical role in this world as good and evil are constantly battling for control. Although I thoroughly enjoyed the journey that Beau and Lex experienced together there was certainly a bit of angst as these two figure out how to make things work. As always, R. Scarlett brings passion, action, and tender romance that will leave you swooning and begging for more.

Overall, When Sinners Kneel will certainly appeal to paranormal romance fans who enjoy a broken bad boy paired with a spunky girl. Beau is my favorite kind of hero so I adored every moment spent with this tatted alpha male! I have no doubt that there will be more to come from the Blackest Gold World and I could not be more excited as I will never get enough! I highly recommend this book and the entire Blackest Gold Series!

Andy has experienced great loss in her life and yet, she has been able to overcome those obstacles and managed to find her way. When Baker enters her life, she is initially fearful of forming an intimate connection with him and yet, Baker manages to break through her barriers and will not stop until he makes her his. Baker is quite the swoon-worthy hero. He is stylish, wealthy, passionate, and ruthless about protecting the ones he loves. Baker's brothers are each unique and certainly, offer a promise of more greatness to come. The tempo of the writing naturally flows as the relationships between the characters move and transform. Beneath the action and intrigue exist a beautiful love story between a man and a woman.

I have long been a fan of Scott Hildreth's work and Devil's Disciples is a new club with new characters and a completely different world to explore. Baker is a stunning start to this series and with action, passion, and suspense I am certainly excited for what is to come! Hildreth is a fantastic storyteller who explores real people living in real circumstances and this is one read you do not want to miss!

"I don't want to fall in love with you."

Midnight Blue is a deeply complex read with a broken British Rock Star and a sweet American girl sent on rocking tour in order to keep him sober. But we all know what happens when you add gasoline to a fire...

"You. You said you loved to see how we burn together. So you took a match. Lit us up. And now we burn forever."

Alex Winslow is on the top of his game. He is a successful rock star with good friends, a million fans, and plenty of swagger. When his manager sends a sobriety sitter to accompany him around the world, he experiences a transformation like no other. Indigo Bellamy is a strong young woman who is desperate to help her family. If she can stand being in the presence of a rock star god and keep him away from drugs and alcohol, she can make enough money to bring her family a piece of the good life. But when Alex and Indigo find an unlikely attraction, the game changes and love and life are quickly put on the line.

"His mouth closed in on mine, his lips tracing mine like braille, like he was trying to read the reaction out of me."

Told in dual POV, Midnight Blue is a deeply emotional read with broken characters coming from broken homes and broken hearts. The supporting characters add plenty of drama to the already intense plot and with the additional twists and turns the outcome is unknown until the very last moment of the read. L.J. Shen is a master at crafting her characters in a way that makes you feel every emotion in the deepest part of your soul. The dialogue is rich with color and the physical connection between Alex and his muse is carnal and raw. Although I am not a huge fan of angsty reads, I could not wait to find out how their song was going to end.

Overall, Midnight Blue is a perfect read for someone who enjoys a scandalous romance with a twisted plot and plenty of angst. Alex and Indigo are both beautifully broken and together they just make sense. I adored the lyrics, the characters, and the text. L.J. Shen never disappoints with her complex characters and beautifully crafted plots.

Zack is the third book in the Cold Fury Hockey Series and to say I have become obsessed with the men of this hockey★4.5★

""I'm still hell on skates."

Zack is the third book in the Cold Fury Hockey Series and to say I have become obsessed with the men of this hockey team is the understatement of the century. After getting to know Zack in Garrett, I was DYING to get my hands on this read!

Zack has just lost his girlfriend and the mother of his child in a tragic accident. The tragedy has affected his personal life and his professional life. Although his family and teammates have tried to support him and offer him, love, Zack is angry and hurting. When he decides to hire a Nanny to care for his son, Kate enters his life and instantly his whole world changes. Kate is a graduate student who has worked hard to find success in her life. She has always camouflaged her looks in order to not attract attention from men. Zack is very attracted to Kate and although it is so wrong for him to want to move on from his losses, Kate prooves to be someone he is desperate to have. Being the caretaker of Zack's little boy has given her financial stability, a company of new friends, and one sexy broody hockey player who is constantly in her space. As Zack battles with his emotions of letting go of his losses and moving on with Kate, the struggle is real. After a short time, a forbidden romance blooms and although passion was supposed to be the only thing on the menu, it doesn't take these two very long to fall madly and deeply in love.

"Tenderness well up inside me. And gratitude."

Told in dual POV, Zack is a truly beautiful romance with healing and unforgettable moments of joy. The transformation that Zack takes as he grows closer to Kate is unforgettable. I felt so deeply for both characters. The way in which Kate was able to offer comfort to Zack and still be a strong independent woman was truly an inspiration. The moments where Zack was weak, Kate was so strong. I am always fearful of reading a book when there has been a lost loved one because sometimes it feels so heartbreaking to have that third person in the picture and yet, the way in which Zack was able to honor his girlfriend by finding healing with Kate was truly remarkable. I love when I can read a book and experience a spectrum of emotions all in one book. With the tears came much laughter, joy, and love!

"The best thing in the world is a never-ending mutual orgasm with Kate."

Overall, Zack is by far my favorite of the Cold Fury Hockey Series to date. I absolutely adored both Kate and Zack and the family they created. This book has passion, romance, hockey action, and it is a truly beautiful story of healing. I cannot recommend this series enough and ZACK is an absolute MUST read from this series!

Judging Books is NA stand-alone romance by one of my favorite authors Shay Savage. Ms. Savage never fails to amaze me with her unique writing style, complex plots, and broken characters. In Judging Books she delivers a beautiful forbidden romance with a clear message about how not to judge a book by its cover and instead use your heart to search a person's soul.

"Carpe diem."

Ashlyn is a privileged young woman who is weeks away from graduating with her master's degree. After her graduation, she will be taking a job at her father's company where she is being groomed to take over the company. On her way to her final interview, she meets the most unlikely young man. Ethan is a tattooed, pierced, and lives life without any inhibitions. When he meets Ashlyn he is overcome by her beauty and sees something special in her. Although the two are complete opposites, they find a unique and tender connection. As a fast friendship is formed, a physical attraction blooms and the two share a passionate night together. But when the reality of what a relationship with Ethan would mean for Ashlyn, the pressures of social rules and expectations become too much for her to bear. Ashlyn and Ethan might be perfect for one another and yet, it will take courage for both to find the strength to be together.

"You want it slow, sweetheart or do you want it rough?"

Judging Books is a touching romance between two very different individuals. Ethan has learned to overcome his circumstances and thrives by living in the moment. The dynamics between Ethan and Ashlyn are explored thoroughly as we witness the internal struggle Ashlyn is facing. I felt compassion for both of them and yet, there were moments during the read that I wanted to throw my kindle against the wall due to the choices Ashlyn made. The stakes are high for them both to forget about society rules and expectations and instead embrace happiness together. In the end, her transformation is flawless as she finds happiness in Ethan's arms.

Overall, Judging Books will appeal to readers who enjoy a tender romance of "opposites attract" with passion and smoking hot steam. Shay Savage is a fantastic storyteller and she always delivers!

"We're the perfect, twisted match, destined for pain like a sad tragedy."

Juniper Unraveling is a simply stunning dystopian romance full of action and grit that will leave you completely breathless the entire read. I have long been a fan of Keri Lake's work and she has truly delivered a blockbuster hit with a gripping plot, complex characters, and smoking hot romance all set in a dystopian society like none I have ever experienced before.

"I can't breathe as he kisses me like he's trying to suck the pain from my lungs and free me from this suffocating guilt."

Set in a different time and place, Juniper Unraveling is told in two parts. As the horrors of this world are slowly revealed, a young girl befriends a mute boy. As young love fights to bloom through the cold hard world that they live in, the young lovers are torn apart. Death, destruction, and heartache coexist with a burning desire to go on, live, and find a brighter future. As the lines of right and wrong are blurred, love still remains.

"We don't see the world. We only see our world."

Told in first person POV, Juniper Unraveling offers an unforgettable love story set in a dark and twisted world. The plot is quite complex and a good majority of the read is focused on setting the backstory in order for the characters (and their relationships) to be revealed. The world in which this story is set is dark and the pain is raw and real and yet, I found a great deal of beauty and tenderness existed. The text flows naturally as the tempo of the read remains intense. The characters face insurmountable situations and yet, they find the strength to overcome any and all obstacles that are placed in their way. Although I would love to elaborate more on the plot of this read, I highly recommend going in blind. Every moment is critical to the story and the stakes are high for these characters to find their way.

Overall, I highly recommend Juniper Unraveling as your next read. Undoubtedly it is one of my favorite reads of 2017! Keri Lake is an extraordinary storyteller who creates characters I love and never want to let go of. Although this is a stand-alone, I can only hope that Ms. Lake will venture into this world again because I WANT MORE! Bravo Ms. Lake! Bravo!

El Santo is the first book in the Saint-Sinner Duet. M. Robinson is the queen of angst and she certai★4.5★

"The devotion. The adoration. The love..."

El Santo is the first book in the Saint-Sinner Duet. M. Robinson is the queen of angst and she certainly did not disappoint. With an addictive blend of action, intrigue, passion, and romance, El Santo had me hooked from the first page until the very last.

"I'm so fucking in love with you, Muñeca."

Damien Montero is no stranger to death and darkness. Being raised as a soldier in communist Cuba, he is being groomed to take down the many enemies that surround him. As always with violence and corruption, many innocent lives are lost. Amidst the chaos and killings, a young girl named Amira ends up in his care. As the years pass it is evident that Damien and Amira have a special bond that surpasses that of a "big brother/little sister" bond. Damien is adamant to keep his Muñeca sheltered from the darkness of his world. Despite his best efforts to keep a platonic relationship between them eventually, the attraction begins to build between the two. They are like two magnets constantly pushing and pulling together. The only thing for Damien to do is to hurt Amira by pushing her away in order to keep her safe. But is Damien truly strong enough to stay away?

"He fell. We met somewhere in the middle. My entire world spun out of control, and so did his as I shuddered beneath him..."

Told in dual POV, El Santo is an epic story of love and loss. As the story spans several years we see the depth of their relationship grow. Every time Damien pushes Amira away, I thought my heart was going to break in two. The plot is complex with multiple players all trying to get what they want. I found the relationships between the characters to be intense and endearing. The plot unfolds at a rapid pace as the stakes are high for these characters to overcome. Cuba is certainly its own character as the rich culture colors the text on every page. Each moment reveals more intrigue as the plot unfolds. Although there was a great deal of angst (due to the longing Damien and Amira have to be together), I felt the timing of their relationship was true to their ages and circumstances. Be forewarned, there is a slight cliffy that will certainly leave you hanging in wait for the next book to be released. Thankfully those last moments are so steamy you won't be too upset as you will want to re-read and re-live those moments again and again.

Overall, I highly recommend El Santo to anyone who enjoys action, intrigue, and forbidden romance. I have long been a fan of Ms. Robinson's work and once again she has created an epic story that I will never forget. I have high hopes for Damien and Amira to find their HEA! No doubt, M has an epic conclusion in mind for them.

"So the bad boy is back."

Beyond Reckless is the eighth book in the Lost King Series. The LOKI is back and it is finally time for Teller to meet his match. Although this can be read as a stand-alone, I highly recommend reading the entire series from the beginning. With action, suspense, and plenty of steam, this is one MC Series you do not want to miss!

"Fuck if I don't love every smart-ass remark that comes out of this woman's mouth."

Beyond Reckless picks up after White Knuckles. Wrath and Trinity are finally married. Heidi and Murphy are settling into their new life together. And yet, Teller is still struggling. As Treasurer of the Lost Kings MC, he has spent his life caring for his little sister Heidi, his best friend Murphy, and serving his club. One thing Teller has always regretted is loosing "the one that got away". After suffering great loss, Teller is trying to recover both physically and emotionally. When she crosses his path once again, Teller is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure he doesn't lose her the second time around.

"I'm breathing heavy and have tears of ecstasy running down my cheeks when he finally flicks the buttons off. My body's turned to jelly. He strokes my cheek with the back of his hand."

Tension are high for Teller and his girl. With the demons of their past chasing them, they both struggle to find a way through. Teller's brothers are quite protective of him and when she threatens his security with the club, the stakes are high for Teller and his girl to find their way.

"I'm so motherfucking fucked."

Told in dual POV, Beyond Reckless is a fantastic addition to this series. Many people may wonder why I am not revealing the heroine's name. Although I am certain the word will get out, I feel confident that fans of this series will want to be surprised. Teller is such a complex hero and it has always been imperative that he find the perfect match. I am happy to say that Teller's "ride or die woman" is, in fact, the only woman for him. The complexities of their relationship are thoroughly explored as they learn to trust one another. The physical connection between the two has always been strong and as they connect emotionally, Teller is able to find joy once again. The passion between these two is off the charts as they explore every single inch of each other. She is also a survivor and the two together become an impenetrable force. In addition to Teller's relationship with his woman, he also begins to repair his relationship with his sister and his best friend. One thing remains true, when it comes to the LOKI, "loyalty, respect, and communication" continue to be the heart of the club. The love that these brothers (and their women) share is like no other.

Overall, I highly recommend Beyond Reckless and the entire Lost Kings MC to any and all MC Romance fan. Autumn Jones Lake is a master storyteller and her ability to create such a fantastical world never ceases to amaze me. The characters are passionate, loyal, and willing to do whatever it takes to protect the ones they love. Teller has long been one of my favorite LOKI Men and I could not be more excited to see that he will finally find his HEA. Teller's story proved to be so complex that Ms. Lake decided to release it as a duet. The ending of Part One will certainly leave you wanting more. October 26th cannot come soon enough! I cannot wait to see how Teller and "his girl" find their HEA!

The Guardians are back and Destined to Crave is the first new smoking hot novella

"He was a gorgeous, primal male set to claim what belonged to him."

The Guardians are back and Destined to Crave is the first new smoking hot novella from the Descended of Guardians Series! The Descended Guardians is a spin off from the Guardians of the Realms. If you are a fan of Setta Jay's The Guardians of the Realms or if you are looking for a new paranormal series to dive into than this is the read for you!

"I'd fucking light myself on fire to protect her from this."

Lucy and Ryker are children of Guardians and they discovered that they were true mates when they were both at a very young. Too young to bond, they continue their friendship and find great comfort in each other. Lucy is older than Ryker so she decides for both of them that they need to wait a significant amount of time to complete their bond. Hoping that Ryker will take the time to explore and live his life before he is bonded to Lucy, she leaves him and forbids him from approaching her until a decade has passed. The pain they both feel from their separation is unbearable, and when Ryker is faced with a dangerous threat, Lucy is left vulnerable. Is the mating bond strong enough to bring them together and give them the strength they need to survive?

"I want your ass, Lucy. I'll pin you and fuck it after you come for me."

Told in dual POV, Destined to Crave is an absolute stunning read full of passion, romance, and action! I adore the Guardians and to have the opportunity to rejoin this fantastical world and have a glimpse into the lives of their children is beyond spectacular! The Guardians are passionate creatures, and the bonds they share with each other and their mates are full of fierce protectiveness over the ones they love and each other. The unique powers and gifts they each possess makes each interaction and battle distinct. The Guardians world is complex and although the history of the relationships between the characters is in depth, I find that Ms. Jay offers plenty of background with each installment making it possible to read each book as a standalone and enjoy every single moment! Ryker and Lucy's story was full of smoking hot steam and beautiful romance. My only complaint is that it had to come to an end.

Overall, I have long been a fan Setta Jay's work and I truly cannot contain my excitement over another magical series with the children of the Guardians! I have no doubt more greatness is to come!

"Tomorrow, they were going back to hell."

To Crown a Beast is the final installment of the Blackest Gold Series. This paranormal series delivers an unforgettable romance with complex characters and a fantastical world where the pull between darkness and light becomes life or death.

"But, behind closed doors, he was hers."

When we last saw Tensley and Molly, they were in the realm of the high court and Tensley's heart was ripped out. Without his heart, the beast overcomes, and even his precious Molly cannot break through. Tensley is forced to rule as King and Molly will try anything to win his love once again.

"I love you. I don't care if it's forbidden..."

As Molly tries to keep her baby safe, finish school, and stand in for her husband as the leader of the Scorpios, Molly discovers the hard truth that life without Tensley by her side offers no life at all. As Tensley faces the battle of his life, the stakes are high for Molly and her King to find love once again.

"You have well and truly tamed the beast. Forever."

Told in mostly Molly's POV, To Crown a Beast offers a beautiful and raw conclusion to this explosive series. The world that Ms. Scarlett has created is complex, and the visuals that she evokes with her text are exceptional and will leave you breathless. I struggled with the separation between Molly and Tensley in this book, and my heart was bursting with anxiety watching them break down. Molly's transformation from the first book in the series to the last is quite remarkable and the way in which the plot comes full circle is sure to please fans of Tensley and Molly. The supporting characters enhance the plot significantly, and I was so glad to see all of the pieces of this mystical puzzle come together.

Overall, I highly recommend the Blackest Gold Series to any and all paranormal romance fans. Tensley and Molly started their journey as adversaries and ended up discovering an eternal love that can break down any barrier that stands in their way. I will miss Tensley and Molly, and I look forward to reading the next great creation by R. Scarlett.

"Ten years of nothing. And then Grace had walked into his life and had undone it all with a smile.

Rocco is the third book in the Ruin and Revenge Series. Although this is the third book in the series, it can be read as a stand-alone. With complex characters, mobster action, and passion, Rocco is an absolute must for mafia romance fans.

"There is no light in my soul. It's all darkness."

Rocco De Lucchi is an enforcer for the mob. He was raised to kill and destroy. When he was tasked to take care of a mafia princess, a connection formed between them and they fell in love. Grace Mantini didn't know the truth about her family until one horrifying night altered the course of her life and ripped her away from the only man she had ever loved. Years have past and Rocco and Grace have done their best to forget about each other and move on. But when the two are reunited, it is obvious that the passion they shared still exists and the time apart has only made the attraction grow even more. When the mafia dynamics intensify between the families, Rocco and Grace are given a second chance to prove that even an enforcer and mafia princess can find their happy ever after.

"His girl was in his arms and there was nowhere else he would rather be."

Told in multiple POV, Rocco offers a riveting forbidden romance with plenty of action, passion, and tender romance. The plot is complex as the characters are all fighting for what they want. The mafia men are brutal and will kill to protect their women and the family. The history of Rocco and Grace was quite intense and after so much heartbreak, they deserved to find happiness together. Grace and Rocco were both forced to overcome so much and the way in which they were able to heal each other was truly beautiful. In true Sarah Castille fashion, the passion between Rocco and Grace is smoking hot! With action, suspense, and romance, Rocco is unforgettable.

Overall, the Ruin and Revenge Series continues to deliver smoking hot alpha mafia men and their headstrong women. I highly recommend this series to mafia romance fans. Sarah Castille is an amazing storyteller who never ceases to amaze me with her fluid writing style and complex characters.

As Liam and Bree reconnect, old feelings hit them both like a tsunami. Both are wanting to be together but both afraid, the push and pull begin! Bree doesn't want to feel the sting of rejection, and Liam fears that if he makes his claim on Bree, he will be breaking "the bro code." But as Bree continues to find strength in Liam's arms, the passion ignites, and neither one can deny the truth that they were always meant to be.

"We were both human, and we both made mistakes, but our mistakes were what made us and what defined us as people."

Ride or Die is the first book in A

"We were both human, and we both made mistakes, but our mistakes were what made us and what defined us as people."

Ride or Die is the first book in A Devil's Highwaymen MC Series. An MC Romance full of angst, heartbreak, raw fury, and grit, Claire C. Riley offers a new riveted creation with complex characters, action, and a story with a beautifully broken second chance romance.

"I fucked up real bad."

Jesse and Laney are both individuals who have overcome a great deal of strife in their lives. Both children of Devil's Highwaymen, they have experienced trauma and abuse and both witnessed violence and debauchery as part of a daily life occurrence. Jesse is destined to follow in his father's footsteps by becoming a Devil himself. Despite her undeniable attraction to Jesse and the club life, Laney's dad is doing all he can to keep her isolated and protected from the biker world. However, Laney and Jesse have always shared a special connection, and when the time comes for Laney to become his old lady, Jesse will do whatever it takes to secure her place by his side.

"Family didn't have to be made from blood; it was made from love and loyalty, and those people had that in abundance."

Jesse and Laney have much to overcome. Although they are madly in love with each other, Jesse is a Devil and as difficulties in the club continue to mount, and heartbreak takes its toll, he finds himself making mistakes that could cost him not only Laney but also his life.

"Jesse was claiming me once more."

Told in dual POV, Ride or Die is a heartbreaking raw romance that is told through both the past and the present. The story documents the romance of Jesse and Laney in a manner that causes the reader to experience the tension of the time passing. In addition to the central conflict, that is unveiled at the very beginning of the book, the drama and scandal that takes place in the club make the stakes high for Jesse to overcome and conquer his enemies, and all while keeping his girl by his side. I found the plot to be complicated with all of the unique twists and turns that existed throughout. Although I felt compassion for both Jesse and Laney, I struggled with some of the choices they both made and the circumstances in which they lived. I have always been a huge fan of the MC Romance genre, and I certainly feel that Claire delivered a raw and gritty romance that will certainly appeal to readers who enjoy a heavy hand of angst and pain with their action and passion.

Overall, I highly recommend Ride or Die to readers who enjoy a tragic second chance romance with a demanding alpha hero that lives in a dark and twisted MC world. After reading several of Claire C. Riley books, it is abundantly clear that she is one talented author who creates the most fantastical worlds full of twist and turns that you will not want to miss!

The journey for both Eagle and Serafina is difficult, and yet, when they finally realize the depth of their connection, it is utter perfection. I thoroughly enjoyed the dynamics between the characters and the pacing of the story is driven by the action and tension that is deeply explored throughout each moment.

I highly recommend One Taste of Angel to all of my MC Romance fans. I look forward to reading more from this author and certainly excited for more Norsemen action to hit my Kindle!
